They welcomed me with open arms in 2021 and I believe we had a good first season. I learnt a lot and the next step is to fight for the title, and I know I have all the tools to do it, both from the team and myself. I want to thank my sponsors, my management as well as the Italian Federation ACI for their support and confidence”.

“Gabriele lived up to all of our expectations in his first year, discovering a championship where he had no prior knowledge. He adapted quickly and was very often at the forefront of the field. At just 16 years of age and despite all the pressure to do well after such a flamboyant debut in motorsport, he has been able to progress both mentally and sportingly. ART Grand Prix has confidence in Gabriele to become a leader and go for the title next season”.
